He also has a large scar on his back left leg, the leg is twisted with very little fur. The paw is mangled.
Name: Harepaw
Gender: Tom
Clan: None yet. Something in very thick woods.
Rank: Apprentice / Elder
*Honorary elder, he was made an elder at 10 moons. See below. (He's only 20 moons now)
Personality/Skills:
Calm, friendly, he's the kind of cat everyone likes to go too. The apprentices love to go to him for advice as he was a very skilled cat when he was an actual apprentice. When his leg isn't hurting as much he can still show them basic crouches and other moves but not struggles with anything more advanced. He was definitely a -claw cat before the accident and loved the thrill of the fight. Now he worries about his clan in battles and such, he often feels guilty about not being able to fight beside his clanmates. He feels like he is a burden as the other elders all served there clan and earned there rest, he feels like he hasn't given enough and doesn't deserve a life of relaxing.
*I need more, I know this, I'm just not sure where to go with his character.
Important Notes:
Harepaws mentor fell pregnant while training him. Her mate became his new mentor. While out hunting they heard reports of foxes in the camp and raced back. A fox was attacking his old mentor and her mate was prepared to get in the way. Harepaw got there first, as a kit he had never known his father and didn't want more kits to experiance that. The fox broke his leg twisting it and shredding his paw. The wound and break were not fixable and so now he lives in the elders den.
Alright, onto work!
Name Type: Traditional
Name Reasoning: I think that, to be kinder to him, he should at least get a warrior's name, or a rename. I can't think of a reason for him to stay Harepaw through his whole life.
Alternate Name: Twistedfoot/Brokenfoot. Both names describe his injury.
Character Assessment: Poor thing. Hopefully he can find some way to be useful to the Clan other than helping apprentices (such as patching up dens or watching kits).
Anyway, he's a really solid character. I'm interested to see whether he loses his self-loathing or if it'll chase him through his whole life.
Character Suggestions: None!
